Cricket World Cup 2011

[VillaZogmariner]

Morgan, Collingwood and Shazad in. KP, Broad and the village cricketer out for England. Prior to open with Strauss.

[VillaZogmariner]

What a stupid fuck up from Prior. He's a wicket-keeper, should know all about stumping. To go walk about whilst the ball is in the 'keepers hands, and then just stand there as he takes the stump out is fucking idiotic.

He does a lot of good stuff does Matty, but every now and then he does something monumental like that.

[VillaZogmariner]

Shit start from England - soft wickets gone. 54-3. Need Trott and Morgan to put a big partnership on here.

[Dave Cooper please]

This is rubbish, I know it's a difficult pitch but we have got to be scoring quicker than this.
Oh, and now Morgan out - great!

[VillaZogmariner]

Much needed century partnership, and a good catch to get Morgan.

You're right though Dave - we should be scoring a lot quicker than we are.

[Dave Cooper please]

Are we doing this on purpose? Can't we just win a game nice and easy?

[VillaZogmariner]

It's going to be a key opening 3/4 overs in the Bangladesh innings - if we can get a quick wicket I think their confidence will shatter like against the Windies and we'll skittle them out for around 150.

[VillaZogmariner]

225 all out then.

[KevinGage]

225 is generally a shit score in modern ODI cricket, but it might be sufficient here.

Only one spinner for England but Collingwood (and maybe even Trott) could yet have a big say.

[cheltenhamlion]

Not the best total but should be defended

[Olneythelonely]

Bangladesh making us look pretty stupid here.

[Olneythelonely]

Tamin's gone. Hopefully they'll fall apart.

[VillaZogmariner]

Swann is struggling with the ball.

[PaulWinch again]

Well this is a pretty absymal start.

[PaulWinch again]

Our bowling at the beginning of an innings has been piss poor all tournament.
